PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

trickyascupart Okay, so Gerry Anderson is a genius, let's get that out of the way first. Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray, even Terrahawks were all in a league of their own. Anderson's patented "Supermarionation" technique was, for its time, highly advanced. The problem started when he branched out into the live action stuff, like Space 1999 and UFO. It just didn't work for me. Space Precinct came along when I was about 16, 17 years old and I loved it from the start. It didn't initially register that it was a Gerry Anderson product, I thought it was so great. It certainly passed forty-five minutes on a Wednesday evening (the slot previously belonging to Star Trek: The Next Generation) and I thought it worked well at the time. When the series was released on DVD I decided to buy it to remind myself of how good it was...oh dear, not quite what I remembered. The real snag with the series is that the ideas and the finished article don't seem to have gelled. There are some great ideas (the co-operation between the three different species represented by the heroes does not always extend to the lower levels of Demeter City, for example) in the series, but it's hampered by the fact that the producers didn't seem to know whether they were making something for pre-teens or young adults. For instance, in one episode the cops have to hunt for this centuries old creature with a penchant for killing nubile young dancing girls and which can "hide" in the bodies of living beings, while at the same time you have a sub-plot concerning two other officers discovering an alien orang-utan in a rubbish skip with predictably humorous and slapstick results. This completely destroys any serious credibility the main story had as these two buffoons lark about "Every Which Way But Loose"-style with this ET-monkey while their colleagues face death at the hands of an ethereal and downright scary adversary. A clearer mission statement would probably have made this show run for longer than two seasons, especially if it had been darker and grittier. That said, not a bad show in all. The execution of good ideas just wasn't up to scratch. Sorry, Gerry...not your best work.

Pammi This show was brilliant when I was 10 and still is now I'm 21.Just started collecting them on DVD, which I was shocked to find available as I thought they stopped making them on VHS.They should show them again on T.V like they do with other Gerry Anderson shows.I know the show didn't go down well when it was first shown but to all of us out there who did like it was a godsend, Gerry Anderson did it again as he did with Thunderbirds, Stingray and all his other shows.For me..... it was the excitement in the show which made me watch it, not only with a good actor for the leading role and other actors to help him along.I think the show in its heyday was brilliant, but like I said, I was only 10 or 11 so my mind wasn't fully functional I think. But I will always say that Space Precinct is one of the best SCI-FI shows I have seen.

Brian Dickens (b.dickens) I just cannot understand why there are people who say 'Space Precinct' isn't worth watching, as it is a very good SF-series!Yes, of course the aliens look a bit ridiculous, but that's actually part of the series' charm. Along with good stories, very obvious chemistry between Rob Youngblood (Officer Jack Haldane) and Simone Bendix (Officer Jane Castle) ànd nice sfx, this is a SF-series worth watching.It's a shame, though, that only one season was made.

vicsbooth1 Gerry Anderson has created a terrific cop show in space!!!! The first few episodes establish the characters and setting, then the show takes off with great stories and super effects!!!!! The dvds from England are spectacular with outstanding sound and picture quality. Fans of Gerry Anderson, and other science fiction shows will love this one.
